Explosive intel about Married at First Sight Australia 2025‘s Billy Belcher and Awhina Rutene‘s relationship has surfaced, revealing what’s really been going on between them.
After months of fuelling romance rumours with couple-y social media posts, dates, staged pap shoots and a Bali getaway for two, Awhina and Billy confirmed they were “just friends”, and have been this whole time, and they “haven’t crossed any lines.”
However, this revelation came around the same time Billy was spotted kissing another girl in Bali after Awhina had left their trip to return home to Perth.
Naturally, this whole debacle left fans a little confused, with many questioning whether they were faking their romance for clout, or if there was more to their relationship than they were letting on.
And whilst digging for the truth, we’ve uncovered some claims about Billy and Awhina’s relo that will leave you SHOOKETH!
The truth about Married at First Sight‘s Awhina Rutene and Billy Belcher’s relationship
As revealed in episode 592 of the So Dramatic! podcast, Awhina and Billy aren’t “just friends” because they’ve hooked up in the past (we first spilled this tea a few weeks ago on So Dramatic! EXTRA).
“Billy and Awhina have been sleeping together,” one source told So Dramatic!.
“Awhina confessed her feelings for Billy at her birthday party in March, and they slept together that night. But Billy made it clear he wasn’t looking for anything serious. He just wanted to enjoy the post-MAFS attention and play the field.”
Another source backed this up, stating that the pair admitted their relationship was for show, but their behaviour behind the scenes made it seem like it was something more.
“Awhina always knew Billy was seeing other girls. But I think deep down, she was hoping it might eventually turn into something real if she just played along,” they dished.
